Oliver Tillard’s 3,058 mile cycle ride across North America has raised nearly £3,000 for Veterans Aid and the money is still rolling in! ‘Ollie’ flew to San Diego in early January and crossed eight States to arrive in Jacksonville, Florida.
Sponsorship on his Just Giving site crept up steadily as he crossed the continent – and there is still time to donate:

Carrying all his kit on the bike and camping along the way he collected a suntan and a huge vote of thanks from the charity’s London staff.
CEO Dr Hugh Milroy said “We are so humbled by what young men like Ollie undertake to do for this charity. The money is absolutely valued and goes straight to the Veterans we help, but what resonates most with us is the lack of fanfare surrounding these heroic fundraising efforts. Ollie has done something very special for us at great personal cost. We salute him.”
